Rooting Moto Fire XT530?

Hello! I know this is not the appropriate forum to place this question but this is the closest one I found where I thought I could get some answers.
I have a Motorola Fire XT530. I have been seraching this forum to find ways to ROOT it in order to install Google Talk with Voice & Video Chat. Can anyone help me with this please?
Is the XT720 similar to XT530? If so, can we use the same methods to ROOT? Please guide my how. This is my 1st Motorola Android Phone and I need any help you can give me.

Wow. Get yourself a iPhone and sell your computer.

No need to be an ass.
There's a One click root for Motorola 2.3.4 Gingerbread devices, if that doesn't work you might have to wait to for a developer to start working on the phone as it was just released like a month ago. Still, most developers work on high end phones and the Fire XT is a low end Android phone, you might be out of luck. Hope something works out for you.

Thanks! I appreciate your help. I will give this a shot and keep this forum posted. A lot of folks in India have bought this phone and are looking for a solution to rooting.

Please don't post in the wrong section, this should go into Q&A if it even belongs here

Closed. Wrong device & wrong forum. Try Android Dev & Hacking general.

LG-P920 Roms should be cleaned and banished from our LG-P925 forum.

Since we now have an official GB build for our LG-P925, i really think this forum should be cleaned up and all the builds that are built from LG-P920 GB Base should be removed. Since they are not actually for our device.
Does anybody agree?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Please. Get out of the development section.
EDIT: No. I do not agree. It's literally the SAME device. Open one up. Check the "P925" label that's underneath it.
And no. It's not that is:

It's that there are other carriers in this world that exist. Besides AT&T and all.
Now tell me.
Q: If there wasn't the international version or the P920 ROMs were "banished" from our Device section, do you really think I'd still be here?
A: NO. AT&T is worthless. For the fact that they'd like to bloat everything and put restrictions and whatnot.
Conclusion?
Leave it as is.
EDIT 2: End rant. Every developer needs to have one of these. xD
One can only be nice for so long.

Dude dont be a duche. A mod will move when they see fit. And by the way great work on your roms.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

I'd say no. They are compatible with our thrill, its the same phone.
Rogers Canada uses the P925 but calls it by its official LG name, the optimus 3d.
Should the forums be combined?
Probably. If you're willing to modify your phone with a custom ROM then you should be able to change apns and all that good stuff. Why should we keep it seperate thus making it harder for users to find a good ROM?
The average USA user isnt going to search for the optimus 3d forum.
Do you think the optimus 3d mods should get rid of roms that were made from a LG thrill dev?

MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?
Regards,

Someone lock this obnoxious idiots thread, if it weren't for half the O3D Devs, we'd never had a Temporary GB Baseband.

Ok well obviously no one can see the obvious that the 920 based GB roms all pretty much run like crap on our 925. And also the fact that none of the GB based kernels made previous to v20p are not compatible with v20p, why have a forum full of roms that really arent made for our phone and that are borked

And let me point out that the P920 and P925 are pretty much the same phone. Quoted from Engadget's review of the Thrill 4G:
Talk about a spitting image of the LG Optimus 3D. Don't get us wrong, we were expecting the Thrill 4G to be incredibly similar to its global counterpart, of course -- we just didn't believe it would be that close. We expect US carriers to take a handset popular in other parts of the world, tweak its design, change the UI and essentially turn it into a completely different phone. Interestingly enough, we found it difficult to find any significant variations at all between the twins aside from a few minor adjustments.

and
Reviewing the Thrill 4G was essentially a complete rehash of the LG Optimus 3D, with the obvious exception of AT&T branding and price ($100 with a two-year commitment).

Or, look at the specs of the P925 and the P920 and tell me what major differences you can find.

The Dark Lestat dont get so upset seriously dude, like your roms were great dont get me wrong. Buuuut, your 2.0 and 2.1 versions honestly were crap, the new v20p completely satisfies my taste and runs way smoother than your 2.xx versions. So by all means leave if you want to. Thanks for your time while you were here though dude. v20p has made this phone is usable until the Samsung Galaxy III comes out. These are just my opinions im not speaking for ghe whole community here The Dark Lestat.

So, you would alienate a superb developer on behalf of the whole P925 community just because v20p satisfies *your* tastes? That's the textbook definition of selfishness.

The v20c base band is the same as the one released in the new gb v20p so essentially its the same except bloatware. I'm on att using v20c with 2.1.

Obviously you dont know what your talking about because v20c and v20p are totally different. You cant use any existing kernels on v20p, the result is a phone with no cell signal and you cant even open apn settings. Also if no one has noticed yet v20p does have new features, one ive noticed is when you receive a text message at when phone is locked there is a cool text message pop up icon now in the middle of the lock screen that you can press snd slide down to unlock straight to messages, also if you use the built in email app its the same thing, also with a missed call.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

I agree with akwhite, V20c is the best stock ROM to base off of; v20p is almost the same but loaded with AT&T annoyances such as the name in the notification bar. I just loaded v20p to see how it was, but it's obvious v20c is the way to go. Rogers seems to be alot better at keeping their branding less obtrusive and more removable. V20p and v20c are pretty much the same.

Be reminded that Half of BioHazard is built ORIGINALLY off the O3D in general specifically because the very first GB Baseband mostly changes the device name and overruns software in order to put our device on possibly the first US/EU Baseband portable to the Thrill.
Yes! This is the "Thrill" forums and if I'm not correct the O3D was advertised FIRST and the most in Europe, it wasn't til a month later that the device WE call the Thrill wad advertised. Most Optimus models made are mainly for Europe! This making our device a European output device Originally based on P920. I'm beginning to think the reason for the long GB Official wait was because LG wanted to bug out the early released European GB.
Look at the facts of most European devices, half of our Mobile devices are based off them.
You slowly seem like you not even care for BioHazard. The first working GB ROM made mostly for Thrill in order to make a break and give us at least some 4G Speed & Signal.

LG Singapore's reply

Here is the mail I sent to LG-Singapore for ICS :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Received Date : 12/08/2012 12:59 52
The type of inquiry : Software/Hardware updates
Product/Model No. : GSM/LGP970
I had a good life before buying your p970 aka Optimus Black. Now I am feeling cheated by a global company (of course LG) who is not on keeping there its promises for software update. You guys have no idea about your customers who bought your product hoping upgrade like other global companies. In other clear words, issues are :
a.) ICS upgrade
b.) Lack of information from your side
c.) Ignoring customers mails about same.
I cant understand that what will be the problem with a brand like LG for ICS update for its flagship mobile when other companies are moving to jelly-bean, you guys are not even saying a single word for ICS yet. If you have not such qualified developers then release drivers for public so they can develop a rom their own, as they are tied with drivers limitation.
Seriously, if you cant upgrade your mobile then release all the drivers to public (e.g xda developers). They will sure develop one ICS for p970.
Is it wot you call "LIFE IS GOOD"? SURE NOT!

It looks like a default no-reply answer.
If indeed they wrote that, it means they didn't read your email.
It's a shame for a nice phone to not be supported anymore, as i've seen, even g1 can have a working jelly bean on it so it's not about the ics not working properly on p970 specs, but lg refuses to support the customers..
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk 2

LG is cheap, they will slowly start to release ICS on only newer phones so they can make money. If they released drivers or ICS to this phone, they wouldn't make money....they know it's possible, they just refuse to, then they get people to buy new phones that have the next O/S. The entire Optimus line was promised gingerbread. I know the Optimus S got it, but the optimus V (an exact identical phone that uses the same motherboard) did not. Why? Because of money. Virgin Mobile discontinued the phone with new phones that come with GB. So VM and LG get money because of people who only run stock and want to go from froyo to GB. LG makes stuff as cheap as they can, that's why drivers (for PC) are outdated, or firmware is borked. LG does not care about customer support. Now the phone carriers may replace the phone, that's the only customer support you'll get.

Usually you should get link in body of email to rate the replay. So click it and rate it badly. Probably some lazy employee didnt even read your message. If you rate it badly he will probably dont get bonus or he will get fired. So win-win for us.

People stop crying like this! the original request to lg assistance is totally wrong. You cannot say that lg "doesn't respect their promises" because our optimus black is meant to be upgraded to ics at least at the end of september, so until that moment your complaints against them is nosense.
You could said it if you have an optimus 2x, so, read carefully the news and comunicates before spamming!

Looks you have not read well LG Canada's statement about upgrade for OB. They said the earlier statement was just a general statement and not promise. And they are not upgrading OB to ICS.

Hi all,
LG Canada said that LG Optimus Black wont get ICS update. That was LG Canada! They have different methods there.
LG didn't say there wont release ICS to OB, so don't speculate that. I see many speculations here...
"LG never will release ICS", "LG wont update to ICS", etc... Are you working in LG to say that? I'm not saying that LG will release ICS, but I didn't see anywhere that LG will NOT release ICS.
Just wait and see... Speculations wont get us anywhere. A petition is different. But like I said, LG never said that they WONT release ICS.

And also - when OB was released, it was said that it will get OS upgrade to GB. Everyone got GB and that should be it. So, LG has done everything they promised. The first statement about ICS upgrades was released so fast, that they even hadn`t no idea if the mentioned phones are capable of running smooth ICS. So i understand why LG are not releasing ICS upgrade.
And its part of TI fault that LG is taking so long.
P.S.
I`m to an OB user and I`m to not so happy about LG - not about not releasing the ICS upgrade, but I`m mad that there is no info from LG on the progress. Sony has updated almoust all of their Xperia line. LG should learn from them.

Any other phone model from LG already get the ICS?
[]'s

And it is not only about ICS, but its about support and information from a global brand. They should be more supportive and informative toward to their customers. There is key benefit for them being responsible.

[Q] Bootloader info request

Ok, so here's the skinny. I'm not an active member, but have been around longer than most. I have experience with a lot of what most of us (xda community) attempt with our devices. I recently acquired a bionic and lapdock which works beautifully with my MoPho. However, I have this Bionic just sitting here, and I cannot do anything with it (yet). I'm offering support to those who are working on a bootloader unlock, or will even take on this task myself if those who are/were working on it will catch me up to speed. Contact me, let's share notes, compare ideas, etc.

I think there may have been one or more efforts/projects to attempt this.
Here's a thread mentioning a bounty/donate and details checking ota servers, and ended a little silly.

[Topic]G730A Root/KDZ

Hi, quick question and topic.
I've overcame a ton of comments primarily from last years release of the Samsung G730A S III Mini model claiming root to no root outcomes.
Is the community for devs still trying to open a port or a guide for a successful G730A root?
I ask this as I see that we were the only form of outcasted Mini users.
If that be said, what are the chances that KitKat could make for an easier root process?
Also, anyone know if a kdz flash is possible for this device?
I ask this after my first Android :sly: Thrill 4G was one of the outcasted phone that finally got a root with a kdz flash, the Thrill forum lost all support and anyone interested in new roms had to stay on a EU dedicated kdz that was promised a developer and rom set.
Basically stating that all users were stuck on an EU Baseband with 3G and sometimes 4G LTE if the rom provided even that.

Bumping!
I'm not gonna watch a phone die out because people won't go out of their way to help the G730A community!
There's someone hiding in the dark and not giving answers.
Now we just sit here and watch others gloat and boast about their root? Whenever someone even mentions G730A in a thread the thread just dies out of communication.

Yeah... like seriously! I got the phone when it came out in sept 2013 and been waiting ever since. I voided my warranty by letting an idiot friend drop my phone, with physical damage to the bezel of the phone, I can now root it and do whatever I want. I'm still waiting. But to be honest, I'd rather have the s4 for the bigger screen. But until then I am waiting for kitkat.
